Ron has his own home business operating a towing and auto recovery service in Dallas, Texas, and in a year’s time, he’s had two trucks stolen, and a third attempt. So Ron recently bought the 3-security camera special for his business so that he could do something about the crime spree that seemed to thrive on his trucks. "I saw an Internet offer," Ron says, "and checked it out and decided to buy the system." Here’s a line that we’ve used many times before in similar articles, and it’s unfortunate that we have to say it, but here it goes. It always seems to go like this. "It wasn’t long before..."

That’s right, you guessed it. Yet another attempt was made to steal one of Ron’s trucks. But Ron had installed the security cameras, the motion sensors, and some floodlights. So when they started tampering with his truck, they triggered an alarm that Ron had set up in his apartment. Ron got up and went out to check on his yard. Sure enough, he found two men trying to steal his tower.

Ron snuck back into the apartment, called the police, grabbed his gun, and held the two men there until the police arrived and arrested the would-be thieves. The police viewed the tape that thanks to VCR Commander had recorded all the evidence they needed, and without any question charged them with breaking and entering. As a result of that tape, the police were also able to tie the criminals to a whole string of auto thefts in the Dallas area.

Now before we go any further, we feel that it is imperative for us to remind you that we do not recommend the type of action that Ron took, i.e. using a gun to hold criminals at bay. There’s no way of predicting what the criminal mind is capable of doing, and there’s too much risk involved. With VCR Commander, the police will be able to review your tape, and they’ll have a much greater chance of solving the crime. And you’ll still be alive to tell the story.

But Ron’s a believer now. In his own words, "I am a believer in the X10 company products, and very soon hope to order some more."
